Death on the Parade Route
(2025)(A book in the Fourth of July Cozy Mystery series)
A Story by Maisy Marple
Death stalks the parade route when Freedom Falls' patriotic celebration turns deadly…
In the charming town of Freedom Falls, Fourth of July means one thing: the annual Independence Day parade. But when parade marshal Gregory Lamm is crushed beneath the massive eagle centerpiece minutes before the celebration begins, newspaper editor Harper Quinn and her ferret sidekick Thimble find themselves hunting a killer hiding behind red, white, and blue bunting.
As Harper investigates, she discovers a web of small-town corruption, petty revenge, and financial misdeeds—all centered around the patriotic celebration. With multiple suspects who had access to the eagle float and motives to want Gregory humiliated, separating harmless pranks from deadly sabotage will require all of Harper's investigative skills and Thimble's uncanny talent for finding hidden evidence.
When the truth emerges, Harper must expose how one of Freedom Falls' most respected citizens transformed a symbol of American pride into the perfect murder weapon. With fireworks about to light up the evening sky, she races to catch a killer before they strike again, proving that sometimes the most patriotic act is exposing corruption hiding behind beloved traditions.
